Mercer County: NJspots Scavenger Hunt

Photography Scavenger Hunt:
Mercer County

Get Your Camera Ready for Our New Jersey Scavenger Hunt!

Want a little adventure? We’ve created a scavenger hunt for every county in New Jersey. You can see them all here.

So grab your camera, download the map below, and head our to get some new photos and explore some new places!

We realize that your favorite photo spot might not be on the list, and that’s ok! These maps and lists are designed to get you to some new spots you might not have explored in the Garden State.

Once you’ve crossed all the spots off the list, let us know and we’ll send you a sticker!

Mercer County Park

Take a walk in nature in this 2500+ acre park. You never know what critters you might find!

A little early morning Jersey nature inspiration to get the writing wheels churning. It’s been raining most of the night and through the den window I can hear it cascading down on the trees, pavement, and roof overhead. It’s amazing what something as simple as a tree, hiking trail, or splash of precipitation can do for the word-loving mind. Onto the next project today!! The 64-Bit Build is releasing on paperback this month (available now for early Kindle downloads - link in bio) and I’m thrilled with the outcome of this collection. The idea and writing came quickly at the onset of Summer, but it’s been a two month evolution of rewrites and poem morphing. What a great experience (coming from a person who hates editing, but then again, don’t we all? 😂). Very much looking forward to editing this new comedy collection I’ve been keeping in my back pocket for over a year, should be fun to finesse and build some structure with. Have a great day all!
